Hi Carole Thanks for that information about Jane TOGHILL (1834-1892). The licensed trade was certainly in the Toghill blood - Jane's father, Thomas Toghill, was an innkeeper at Avening in 1834. Jane's uncle Stephen Toghill Jnr was innkeeper at the Horseshoe Inn, Downend in 1833. Jane's brother Edward Toghill was publican at Kingston on Thames in 1881 Jane's brother Stephen Toghill was licensed victualler at Kingston on Thames in 1851. Jane's brother Charles Toghill was servant at the home of a publican in Chippenham in 1851. Jane's brother Isaac Toghill was hotel keeper in Chiltern, Victoria, Australia in 1891 They must have liked the life.
